The correct answer is option a, that is, sedimentary rock.

There are three main kinds of rock on Earth: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

The sedimentary rock envelopes about three-quarters of the land on the surface of the Earth. However, sedimentary rock forms only about 5 percent of the top 16 kilometers of the crust of the Earth. The other 95 percent comprises of metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rock is malleable of the three kinds of rock. Thus, it is the quickest to erode.

Answer:

Renewable energy: solar radiation

Farm example: Farm located in Heggelbach, Germany

Explanation:    

Solar radiation is one of the most used types of renewable energy. It proportionates light during the whole day (even during the cloudy days), which is received by solar photovoltaic panels. These photovoltaic panels are formed by solar cells that turn the solar light (photons) into electricity (electrons) through the photoelectrical process. Certain materials are capable of absorbing photons and releasing electrons, generating by this movement, electric current.

Solar energy is being used in many places to avoid using fossil fuels as energy sources and replace them. Specifically, in farms, this energy is used for equipment operation and machinery use.

Even the combination of solar panels and agriculture is taking place in the same land area or parcel. In the same place where solar panels are installed, and under them, vegetables are being grown. The advantage for certain vegetable species is that panels protect from excessive radiation or other adverse climatic conditions.

<u>Example:</u>

In 2018 in Heggelbach - Germany- a five meters structure of solar panels was installed on a farm. Under them, different crops were grown. The production under the photovoltaic system was highly superior to the traditional one. The efficiency of land use increased by 186% per hectare with the agro-photovoltaic system.

What is the recommended way to determine if a baby requires supplemental oxygen in the delivery room? assess the color of the ba
Vladimir79 [104]

The right answer is to look for cyanosis by determining the color of the baby's chest and abdomen,


Cyanosis refers to the bluish coloration that the skin and mucous membranes take when the blood contains a small amount of oxygen-bound hemoglobin.

When there is little oxygen in the blood, it takes on a dark red color. And when all the vessels (of the whole body or a region of the body) carry low oxygenated blood, then it gives the skin the bluish color characteristic of cyanosis.

Symptoms may be associated with that of cyanosis, depending on what causes it. For example, breathing difficulties, chest pain, fever, heart failure or general fatigue.
